A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 52 owner complaints on file, mostly about back over prevention, structure and unknown or other. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $17.36 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 566 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Taurus first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Taurus for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Taurus answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
